We have great news on our candidacy for our Middle Years Programme--our application has been accepted and we will have a site visit by IB planned in 2015!  This is very exciting news and we would like to share more with you about the process of teaching for deeper meaning and what it means to be an IB student!

While you're at our IB Parent night, stop in and meet some of the Governing Council members. They'll be happy to explain what their role is in helping our school and feel free to ask them any questions!

We look forward to seeing our whole community come out for this tomorrow at 5:30.

THE IB PARENT ACADEMY NIGHT FOR 4TH AND 5TH GRADES HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER 11TH AT 530PM.

RULES FOR PARENTS AND OTHER ADULT VISITORS ON CAMPUS

Corrales International School is an excellent school and we expect that adults model appropriate behavior for children at all times.  Here's a quick list of expectations that all adult visitors to the Corrales International School must follow:

♥      You must sign in at the office and get a visitors pass if you plan to be on campus during the school day.  You do not have to sign in if you are only here during pick up or drop off times.

♥      You should always use crosswalks and sidewalks even in the parking lot.  Never cross between parked cars or moving traffic.

♥      Do not smoke or drink on campus.

♥      Turn off the sound on your cell phone when volunteering in class.  Exit a classroom before answering a cell call.

♥      Never interrupt instructional time with personal matters.  Make an appointment to see the teacher during non-teaching time or call the office.

♥      You cannot park your car in the parking lot during pick up or drop off times, 7:30 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. and 2:45 p.m. -3:45 p.m.

♥      The front parking lot is closed to traffic during pick up and drop off times (7:30 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. and 2:45 p.m. -3:45 p.m.). 

♥      You should never try to discipline children that do not belong to you.  If you have any difficulty with another child talk to a teacher or Dr. Diaz.  Do not handle it yourself. 

♥      When signing a child out early, you may be asked to present a photo ID until the office gets to know you.  Always have your ID with you when on campus.

♥      Be on time each morning and pick up your children on time each afternoon.  Office staff cannot supervise your children.

♥      Try to have your child at school each day, ALL DAY, unless absolutely necessary. 

♥      DOGS large, small, tiny, cute, or fuzzy are not allowed on our campus.

♥      Please be aware that little eyes and ears see and hear you.  Be careful what you do and the kinds of words you say when on campus.  Be an example at all times.

These rules only exist because they have become critical issues for our school.  Help us keep Corrales International School and its students' safe and successful at all times!

Corrales International School PTA is proud to be hosting the first formal dance at our new location - A Winter Ball for our High School Students! 

We are asking for the help of our fabulous parents to help make this a memorable event. Please take a moment to look through the list for items that we are in need of (click here). We mainly need help with food, chaperones, and decorations. If you are able to assist in some way The Winter Ball will be themed around everything cold and icy, so think blue, white, and silver!

We are beginning to take applications for student enrollment for the 2015-2016 school year.  

Our lottery will take place for new students on February 18th at 5pm. This school year, applications will be requested through an online form available on the CIS website, corralesis.org. 

Currently enrolled students DO NOT need to fill out an application or go through the lottery process. In order to conduct our lottery we need to know the number of students planning to return at each grade level. Families will be asked to fill out the intention to return form after the new year begins.
